Specifying printer’s marks
When you prepare artwork for printing,
a number of marks are needed for the
printer to register the artwork elements
precisely and verify correct color. These
marks include such elements as crop
marks, registration marks, star targets,
calibration bars, and labels. The Color
Separation Setup dialog box enables you
to add these marks to your separations.
The Use Default Marks option adds the
following marks to the separations:
• Crop marks. Illustrator places crop
marks at the edges of the artwork’s
bounding box. The bounding box sets
the position of the crop marks on your
artwork; it designates to Illustrator
the printable boundaries of the artwork
and nonprintable boundaries, such as
direction lines.
